I called to see if they recieved my application. The lady told me it would be impossible. They're getting 1000 apps a day is what she told me. Seems like they're very very busy there. Lol .. I guess I'll know in two months. Wish there was a way to check on it periodically.

Called today and spoke with a nice lady. She said mine was 'keyed' (recieved) February 8 and I am still pending one background check and it could be a week or two more. I'm in no hurry. Summer time is when I visit AZ the most. She said there is not back up on my case, just a background.

Might be my military history or my residence oversees or back east..... Not sure. But, didnt sound like a problem.

So.. this thread has become too long to read :P so excuse me if this is repetitive.

But what is the advantage in obtaining a AZ LTC? AZ looks as though it still recognizes FL and UT LTC.

My original desire for the AZ LTC was that it reciprocated with NV, for visits to Las Vegas or Reno. Now that the reciprocity has been removed, I figure now the top non-Cali LTC's would be:
FL: to get WA & NM reciprocity, to get LTC permission in all of the southern border states
UT: to get PA and MN (just to get additional reciprocity)
NV: mainly for LV and Reno visits

Question....has anyone had to go to NV or AZ to do a class or is your CA CCW proof enough? Or a copy of your CCW class completion? It's all a little confusing on this non resident stuff. Can you do it all through the mail? I doubt I will travel there prior to being able to carry there, as I'd be alone and thus the reason to want the CCW to start with.

If you have a Cal. CCW a copy is good for Az, I used my DD214 and that worked for my Az CCW.
